Let me get this straight. Its basically a car engine made out of ceramic that has a computer chip that stores 20 HD-DVDs and give higher MPG?]]>Oct 26th 2009 12:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/nc-state-gurus-develop-new-material-to-boost-data-storage-conse/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/nc-state-gurus-develop-new-material-to-boost-data-storage-conse/Oct 26th 2009 1:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/nc-state-gurus-develop-new-material-to-boost-data-storage-conse/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/nc-state-gurus-develop-new-material-to-boost-data-storage-conse/

shouldn't that be 10 blu-ray discs?


Also, "Dr. Jagdish Narayan and company have utilized the process of selective doping"... >> How do I get in on one of these 'selective doping' experiments? hmm?

Why obfuscate the storage capacity? I'm sure most people would understand 600 GB just fine.

How much text fits on one of these pages anyway?

The original design is for computer chips, since they can't boost the electricity needed to run it. Increasing the Watts would produce a faster processor, but too much power and not enough cooling would melt the chip.

Then since the material has twice the melting point than aluminum...they can use this to create an engine. They could increase the compression to incredibly higher levels, and produce more power! The article said they could make 80 MPG from it! If they combine this technology with the BAM (stronger than Teflon) "oil less technology" then you might be able to see 100 MPG cars.

Looking at things this way...electric cars might be the future or maybe the original gas engine might survive... who knows, but I do know that it'll be better for the environment being that we'll use less oil and burn fewer gasoline!]]>Oct 26th 2009 1:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/nc-state-gurus-develop-new-material-to-boost-data-storage-conse/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/nc-state-gurus-develop-new-material-to-boost-data-storage-conse/Oct 26th 2009 5:46AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/nc-state-gurus-develop-new-material-to-boost-data-storage-conse/http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/25/nc-state-gurus-develop-new-material-to-boost-data-storage-conse/
